So it was working fine and then suddenly I started getting an error message that remote potato couldn't start make sure I had the right username and password in the Music Library tab. I don't really password protect the computer and cannot figure out what it wants here. I uninstalled, rebooted and reinstalled and still no joy. Anybody have a direction to try?

I am having the same issue. Under the general tab for the music library, I input a username and password and it worked initially but subsequent tries have had no effect as it says there is incorrect information. I to have un-installed the product and re-installed with no success.

Development has not stopped on Remote Potato, but it has certainly slowed down a little. Rest assured I am here - and development will continue, albeit at a slower pace! Even if I'm not able to check the forums as often, I hope that they continue to be a useful place for users to exchange tips, information, and help each other with any problems.

Re: the music library account issues that a few users have experienced, it's very hard to establish why this is happening, since Remote Potato just uses Windows native APIs to log in as the user, with the credentials that you specify. There's no weird trickery going on, which makes it very tough to debug an issue like this.

I will keep thinking, but ask that you post any extra details that may be relevant or help us to establish a common connection between users expericing this issue - are you on a domain, for example? Are you using Windows 7? Are there any non-standard characters in your username and/or password?

I would like to chime in as well, I've been having this same issue for many months (even possible a couple of years?? Definitely on the last few version of the PC software). I'm running Windows 7 64 bit. Every time I attempt to adjust the settings and stop the server, I am unable to restart the server no matter WHAT I do. No combination of passwords work, and I don't have any nonstandard characters. I have hit this issue at least 8-9 times, and every time the only solution is to uninstall and reinstall the software, nad just leavea blank the music library info. Would be happy to send logs if necessary. Also just to clarify, I AM supposed to use my user account settings right? The name and password for this profile on my computer? I have windows media player set up to stream, could there be a conflict there?
